“Snakes.....I hate snakes!”

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

This is why I don’t keep snakes as pets. I only keep live lions and tigers.

[Bryan24]

Shocked?

News flash: Snakes kill. Big snakes kill big things.

Duh!

Nothings gonna rattle him from now on...

[BipolarBob]

Definitely not on planes.

Guy's a gypsy ~ like Obamugabe's buddy Rezko. That 'ko' in his name is a standard Roma diminutive form ~ and he's not exactly someone who just loves snakes ~ or wasn't anyway ~ he'd be a DEALER in exotic snakes. This is one of the crafts brought from India centuries ago.

We had one of them in our neighborhood years ago. One day one of his black mambas got loose ~ that got the cops really, really interested in putting him out of business!

NOTE ~ the story says the dude had these animals in his apartment!

Man found dead in house full of snakes

Go figure.

Oh man! I wish I could find an old woodcut from the 1870s! It showed an outlaw gang all dead because their hideout was built over a rattlesnake den.

Snakes are good pets, they are pretty easy going, but I wouldn’t keep a constrictor like these. They just get too big to manage easily.

Another long time poster sent a message to me and the Admin complaining about a reference to “snake handlers”. Caution: it may become politically incorrect here to say “snake handler”!

I worked in a pet shop for 8 1/2 yrs. and a regular customer who was a snake lover came in and had a styrofoam box with him. He asked me to tell him what kind of snake was in the pillow case. I opened the container, loosened the rope holding the pillow case shut, opened it and came face-to-face with a Monocle Cobra. It hissed like a cat and before it could strike I closed the bag, put it back in the box and told him to get the he** out of the store. I'm female but I wanted to slap him senseless. I told him one day they were going to find him dead. He laughed. Two weeks later they found him dead in his home with a diamondback rattler running the house.

Reading the headline, I thought the news was about Hugh Hefner!

Pythons grow to 35 feet long? Damn!!!

[Revolting cat!]

How many banjoes did this “snake handler” own?

“At least one was as thick as a human thigh.”

Um, perhaps because it had consumed a human thigh? Just perhaps?
